Contours and hill shading : minimum instructions needed

Open necarnot opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I've read the Makefile and tried to understand the dirty notes about contours and hill shading, but though I've downloaded the DEM files of some relevant zones, I don't know how to use this make file, as I don't know which make target I must call, neither where to put the DEM files. As written in SHADING_AND_CONTOURS.md, the documentation has to be improved and I'm OK to try to improve it, but I may need some starting point, which I'm missing at present.

Thank you.

Nicolas

Many depends on the properties of data you have. But basically you should have DEM data geotiff transformed to EPSG:3857 and save it to build/merged.tif and then run make -j 4 build/final.tif.ovr.
